We are currently on spring break and traveling in Italy. We started our trip in London, Barcelona, but Italy is the main highlight of our trip. Italy has been amazing and a dream come true.
I had traveled to Italy on business trips before, but this is my first personal trip when I can actually soak in everything that Italy has to offer.

Italy is really a food lover’s paradise, and we are enjoying every moment of it. Here is my easy shrimp and pasta spaghetti, a little piece of Italy from my kitchen to yours.
